TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - November 23, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Titan Medical Inc. ("Titan" or the "Company") (TSX: TMD) (OTCQX: TITXF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement of 4,290,280 common shares of Titan ("Common Shares") at a subscription price of CDN$1.23 per common share for gross proceeds of approximately US$4,000,000 (the "Private Placement") with Longtai Medical Inc. ("Longtai"). Longtai is the Canadian subsidiary of Ningbo Long Hengtai International Trade Co. Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of China with annual sales exceeding US$100,000,000. Longtai is an importer and distributor of high end medical devices for multinational companies.

The Private Placement was completed pursuant to agreements entered into by Titan and Longtai, and announced by news release, on October 30, 2015 (collectively, the "Agreement") and constitutes the first step toward a broader potential relationship between Titan and Longtai for establishing a market for Titan's SPORT™ Surgical System in China and the Asia Pacific region. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for the continued development of the SPORT™ Surgical System, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Under the Agreement, Titan has granted to Longtai exclusive rights to negotiate for an exclusive marketing, sales and distribution agreement for Titan's SPORT™ Surgical System in the Asia Pacific region (the "Distributorship Agreement") for a period of 183 days. Longtai has paid to Titan US$2,000,000 as a deposit toward the Distributorship Agreement ("Distributorship Deposit"), which shall be repaid to Longtai in the event that the agreement is not entered into within the 183-day period. Longtai will, concurrently with the signing of the Distributorship Agreement, subscribe for and purchase an additional US$4,000,000 worth of Common Shares at a share issue price equal to the 5-day VWAP (less a 12.5% discount). If the Distributorship Agreement is signed and the second US$4,000,000 private placement is completed, Titan will retain US$1,400,000 of the Distributorship Deposit and repay US$600,000 to Longtai.

Based on successful negotiations, the Distributorship Agreement will further lead to an additional US$15,000,000 investment by Longtai for the establishment and support of a Titan operations office and facility in the Asia Pacific Region; establishment of a training program for the SPORT system; and sales and marketing of the SPORT system.
